To assess the mean performance and extent of genetic variability, 40 half sib progenies of Grewia optiva Drummnond were evaluated in randomized complete block design with three replications. The observations were recorded on various morphometeric and fodder quality parameters. The analysis of variance indicated highly significant differences among the various half sib families for all the traits studied. The experimental results revealed that out of 40 families ten families viz. SI-15, SO-3, HA-2, HA-3, HA-4, SO-7, SH-7, SO-4, SI-6 and SI-14 were found superior on the basis of overall mean performance for all quantitative and qualitative traits under study. Hence, these half sib families can be used in further breeding programme. | Assessment of variability in half Sib progenies of Grewia optiva Drummond for various qualitative and quantitative traits in north western Himalayas
